Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sun Family
Su Chen sat on the horse and looked up at the house in front of him, which was similar to his own, and smashed his mouth.
"How magnificent is that ancestral house?"
After losing the ancestral house, it is impossible for hundreds of people in the Sun family to wander the streets, so they can only buy a new house.
The big mansion in front of me is the mansion purchased by the Sun family in the later period, and the specifications are basically similar to those of the Su family.
"Knock knock."
Su Chen didn't hesitate too much, and directly knocked on the door of the Sun family.
In a short time, the small door next to the gate was opened.
A little old man with a mustache poked his head out and glanced up and down at Su Chen.
Seeing a young man coming to the door, the little old man was a little puzzled and spoke.
"Housheng, we are not hiring."
Then you have to retract your head.
The little stone on the side frowned, grabbed the little old man's goatee, and said to the latter.
"You old boy, why do you look down on people, my young master is the head of the Su family, hurry up and open the door for me to welcome my young master in!"
Hearing Xiao Shi's words, the little old man's eyes widened instantly.
At first glance, he felt that this young man was somewhat familiar, he must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After Xiao Shi said this, he remembered that he had met Uncle Su once when he had his birthday.
"Oops, it's all my fault that the old man is dizzy and snubbed off Master Su."
The little old man raised his hand and begged for mercy, Su Chen didn't care about this, just waved his hand at it.
Xiao Shi called him Young Master at his own request, because he was not very old in his previous life or now.
It was very uncomfortable to hear that others were talking about a master, so they simply let people call themselves young masters.
Soon, the little old man and the two family members opened the door of the mansion in both directions.
The little old man trotted in front of Su Chen and spoke.
"My lord is invited."
Su Chen didn't speak, just followed him towards the inner courtyard.
"Master Su, wait a moment, my master is coming."
The little old man was leading Su Chen and Xiao Shi into the hall, and then stood on the side.
As soon as Su Chen sat down, a maid with a good face put the tea in front of Su Chen.
Su Chen picked up the tea and took a sip, and the fragrance of tea overflowed in an instant.
"This old grandson is so good at enjoying it."
For a long time, the relationship with the Sun family has not been very good, and there are not many business contacts.
It's always been a good face, and I don't know anything else.
Almost as soon as Su Chen put down the teacup, Sun Yuanwai strode towards him.
When Su Chen saw the latter, he immediately got up and bowed his hand to Sun Yuanwai.
"I've seen Sun Yuanwai."
"Hahaha, let me take a look at the Su family's eldest master who has been rumored recently."
Sun Yuanwai is a middle-aged man with a big belly, who is very bold.
This was Su Chen's first impression of Sun Yuanwai.
"Although you and I are the same head of the family, there is too much age difference between you and me, so I will call you Uncle Sun today."
Su Chen's tone was sincere and he spoke to Sun Yuanwai, for this bold temperament, Su Chen still liked it very much.
Apparently. Su Chen's words made Sun Yuanwai useful.
"Okay, good, you kid is really kind to me, come on, quickly prepare the banquet, and I will talk to Nephew Su."
The little old man's butler nodded, and then left the antechamber.
But Su Chen didn't rush to tell Sun Yuanwai about the purpose of coming here.
Sun Yuanwai also had a tacit understanding and did not ask, so the two of them greeted some things together.
After a while, after the meal was ready, the two of them sat down directly.
"Come on, nephew Su, try the skills of the chef I hired in Jiangnan."
Su Chen put the famous Jiangnan dish in front of him into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"The cook specially invited from Jiangnan, Uncle Sun will really enjoy life."
"Haha, life is rare for seventy years, ten years of young and ten years old and weak, why not enjoy it in a limited time, Brother Su."
"Uncle Sun is really open-minded, come, little nephew will give you a drink."
"Here, cheers."
After the two of them had a drink together, Su Chen put down his glass and was about to get to the point.
Sun Yuanwai wiped his mouth and said to Su Chen first.
"Since you and I are already commensurate with uncles and nephews, then if nephew Su has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, I think that the newly appointed head of the Su family should not have the spare time to come to my grandson's mansion to recognize me as an uncle."
Hearing Sun Yuanwai's words, Su Chen didn't pretend anymore, and directly took out a piece of brown paper from his arms and handed it to Sun Yuanwai.
"Then ask Uncle Sun to help my nephew see, how about the location of these shops I want to buy?"
Sun Yuanwai raised his eyebrows, took the kraft paper from Su Chen's hand, put his eyes on the kraft paper in his hand, and his expression became a little solemn from the beginning of doubt.
Slowly put down the kraft paper in his hand, and then looked at Su Chen's expression changed a little, and said to the latter.
"Each of the shops you choose seems to be randomly located, but if you sketch these shops with a pen, you will find that there will inevitably be a Liu family's shop between every two shops."
Su Chen smiled slightly, then looked at Sun Yuanwai and said with a smile.
"Sun Yuanwai is really smart, no wonder he can support the Sun family, which should have collapsed, to this point."
After Su Chen said this, Sun Yuanwai's expression changed significantly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
Back then, he was young and vigorous, and he made a bet with Li Yuanwai, who was full of bad water, and lost the ancestral house.
His father died in a fit of anger and almost collapsed the Sun family, but fortunately he woke up in time and worked hard to stabilize the foundation of the Sun family.
Now he is giggling on the surface, but in fact, only he knows what he has suffered over the years.
As soon as Sun Yuanwai thought of the past, he felt a little sad and indignant in his heart, and then opened his mouth to think about Su Chen and asked.
"Do you want to ask me to buy these shops under the name of the Sun family, this is naturally easy to say, but I want to ask you, is it useful for you to do this, the recognition of the Liu family's shops in Xiaoyuan City is very high."
Su Chen didn't say much, just took out a small ceramic bottle from his arms and handed it to Sun Yuanwai.
"The first time my little nephew came to the door, he didn't bring any big gifts, and the contents of this small bottle are called perfume, which is a gift I brought to my aunt."
"Perfume?"
Sun Yuanwai pulled out the stopper on the bottle, sniffed it closely, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
"What is this, why is it more fragrant than the rouge gouache sold by the Liu family."
"That's why I opened the shop at his house."
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yuanwai asked Su Chen the same question as Uncle Su, and then showed the same shock and doubt.
After Su Chen answered them one by one, Sun Yuanwai agreed to give up those shops to Su Chen at a very low price.
And said that the Sun family will give the most support.
